    Better start cranking, in low, and hope the gears aren't buggered up. And not to heavy on the front end.
    Standing there looking at it won't solve anything. And then, think back, "what did i just do to pi $$ off someone"?

    I don't really condone this sort of thing, but....

    I don't really have any sympathy for the guy either.

    In all honesty, I'll bet it'll be a loooong time before he leaves his truck parked & blocking the fuel island again.

    One less to worry about for a while.

    I’d never pull a pin but I’ve removed a red glad-hand and slipped a quarter in and put it back on. Sure is fun watching them try figuring out what’s wrong :)

    Old Mexican guy I worked with did it to me once, we still laugh about it years later.

    I understand the frustration. Put a penny in the red line, piss on the tires. Don't pull the fifth wheel. That will get innocent folks kiiled.

    Maybe this will make everyone think a little bit before they sit there for their 30.

    There are multiple cameras on a fuel island, shouldn’t be hard to figure out who the culprit was. I bet $100 bucks it’s the guy holding the camera.

    Not only that, but in some jurisdictions if property damages exceed a certain value felony vandalism charges can possibly be applied(to the tractor,trailer or any other property). What if that trailer slid off in the fuel line and in the process the fuel pumps were damaged somehow? Or other property?

    Something to think about!

    stupid act by both

    i'd never do that either, (block the island or pull the pin), but too many others will.

    wanna block the island? well then pay the price.

    unless severe damage to the fueling area,. all the cameras in the world ain't worth nuffin to the trucker.....

    fuel up, pull up, leave the island open for another....take you dang break in a proper spot.
